Brake master cylinder
 
Hi guys,
for me it's time to replace the brake master cylinder.
I have a question for you....what's the best brand to choose?
I see Cardone, Raybestos, Centric and others....some of these are out of stock...What did you suggest me???
Thanks in advance

Dorman, Cardone, Raybestos, Wagner are long time names in rebuilding that I would trust my brakes to. The others ?????

Davies Corvette had a few OEM master cylinders a few months back. The originals were built in Australia.

I put one on my '90 a few months back. The only difference I could see between the new one and the original one was a some difference in the font of the PBR lettering cast into the cylinder.
I've been trying to find a rebuild kit for my original for quite some time. No luck as of yet, so my original is just sitting on the shelf. If anyone knows of one available, please let me know.
:cheers:

Does anyone know if there is someone who will rebuild an original brake master cylinder?

No, I have not. I was told that Lone Star does not but I will call to confirm.
